Queensland transfer duty rates
Duty is charged per $100 of dutiable value, and part of $100 counts as a full $100. The dutiable value is the price or the market value, whichever is higher.
| Dutiable value | General transfer duty |
|---|---|
| Up to $5,000 | Nil |
| $5,001 – $75,000 | $1.50 for each $100 over $5,000 |
| $75,001 – $540,000 | $1,050 plus $3.50 for each $100 over $75,000 |
| $540,001 – $1,000,000 | $17,325 plus $4.50 for each $100 over $540,000 |
| Over $1,000,000 | $38,025 plus $5.75 for each $100 over $1,000,000 |
Home concession rates
If you buy a home to live in, the home concession rate replaces the general rate. You must move in within 1 year of settlement. It saves up to $7,175.
| Dutiable value | Home concession duty |
|---|---|
| Up to $350,000 | $1.00 for each $100 |
| $350,001 – $540,000 | $3,500 plus $3.50 for each $100 over $350,000 |
| $540,001 – $1,000,000 | $10,150 plus $4.50 for each $100 over $540,000 |
| Over $1,000,000 | $30,850 plus $5.75 for each $100 over $1,000,000 |
First home concession for established homes
First home buyers of an existing home first work out the home concession duty, then subtract a first home concession amount. For contracts from 9 June 2024 the amount is $17,350 up to $709,999.99, which wipes out the duty on a home worth up to $700,000. It then falls by $1,735 for every $10,000 until it reaches nil at $800,000.
| Home value | First home concession amount |
|---|---|
| Up to $709,999.99 | $17,350 |
| $710,000 – $719,999.99 | $15,615 |
| $720,000 – $729,999.99 | $13,880 |
| $730,000 – $739,999.99 | $12,145 |
| $740,000 – $749,999.99 | $10,410 |
| $750,000 – $759,999.99 | $8,675 |
| $760,000 – $769,999.99 | $6,940 |
| $770,000 – $779,999.99 | $5,205 |
| $780,000 – $789,999.99 | $3,470 |
| $790,000 – $799,999.99 | $1,735 |
| $800,000 or more | Nil |
No duty for first home buyers of new homes
For contracts signed on or after 1 May 2025, first home buyers pay no transfer duty on a new home (never lived in or sold as a residence, including off-the-plan and substantially renovated homes) or on vacant land to build their first home. There is no price cap, but duty still applies to any extra land not used for residential purposes.
